Stats for 60 swifts processed over 4 years. The sample is too small
The average weight
- 42.3g (BTO 40g)
The average wing
- 174.5mm (BTO 175mm)
Are Northern Irish swifts actually heavier than English/Scottish/Welsh swifts?

Years ago I filmed common swifts + insects with a tripod.
Stacking the minima of every frame created this ghostly sky ballet of hundreds of birds. β¨π·Natureβs own long-exposure magic. π· #Swifts #CommonSwift #CitizenScience #NaturePhotography #Birds #Timelapse

An amazing video from @NIpinemartens here in Northern Ireland of a swift preening and tossing a Crataerina

Very often I see people putting up swift nest boxes very wide apart. RSPB says they should be 1m apart. I better tell this colony to space themselves better

A compilation showing
The last swift to fledge
An adult returning to feed it
Struggling to keep the bolus in place and struggling to breathe

6 weeks old and time to make the jump from a cramped nest in to the wide open space and never ending sky

Another swift myth is adults abandon young to make them lose weight before fledging. 2 already fledged today. Here are both adults returning this evening

Entering the wrong box gives a great opportunity to see where a swift keeps the bolus. Many wrongly say it's in the throat or in a crop
